This sweet, little boy was bright-eyed and wide awake for the first half of his newborn session! Eventually, however, I worked my magic and we finally got some sleepy photos of River. There’s just something so beautiful about newborns and eye contact 😍 Sometimes parents wonder what happens if their baby doesn’t want to sleep. Well, we usually get precious awake photos and then they give in to the swaddling, warm room, and white noise 😴
Ellie, 8 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
Gorgeous Ellie was such a perfect angel during her newborn session! Her parents chose the Classic Newborn option, which combines posed shots of baby with lifestyle family photos. I first met this family during their maternity session (check out those adorable photos here!) and I was so excited to snuggle little Ellie. Big sister was just under 2 years old, which can be a tricky time for a photo session, but I try to keep things low pressure, just capturing some sweet shots of the new family of four.
Scarlett, 9 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
I was so excited to meet Miss Scarlett after photographing her big sister Ella (check out Ella’s newborn session here!). The two girls look so much alike, it was almost like deja vu! For Scarlett’s session, we incorporated soft pinks and purples, as well as girly accents like lace and pearls.

Charlie, 10 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
This sweet girl is so loved and cherished by her parents and I could feel the love as soon as I met them all! Little Charlie was an absolute doll, complete with chubby cheeks and the most precious little fingers and toes.
Charlie’s parents chose a Classic Newborn Session, meaning both posed baby-only shots and family photos were included in their session. I always encourage families to incorporate anything special or personal into their newborn sessions. We got some shots of Charlie in her mama’s wedding veil, which just melted my heart 💕
Antonia, 9 days new | Wilmington NC Newborn Photographer
Antonia’s first ever photoshoot was a short and sweet swaddled newborn session! These sessions consist of wrapped only images, so baby is usually super sleepy and relaxed the entire time. For Antonia, we incorporated feminine elements, such as florals, lace, and ruffles, as well as s festive holiday set up. She was an adorable little lady and just simply perfection 💓
